Someone said go with your passions and everything else will fall into place. Well today I found a passion and I dove head first into it. And I mean head first.

Here is what I am talking about…

I warn you the images are not nice. If you have children near by, avert their eyes.

This has gone on too long. Much too long. This “zoo” as they call themselves has existed almost as long as myself.

Not anymore. I took to everything I have ever been taught about social media and marketing today and am applying it in full force. Twitter, Facebook, email marketing and beyond.

I’ve even contacted ever media station I can think of. I’ve put together a press release…

These animals deserve better. And we are working on doing just that.

Please help. Share the links, love the links. Do whatever you can to help stop this atrocity. In the wake of all that goes on in this world, can we not unite to make some good?

A background, a history and where this “list” is coming from:

A little while back I was having a really hard time coping with life. In fact, in some ways it was down right unbearable. And so, like I’ve been told so often to do, I opened up, reached out and shared my story.

And I was amazed at the support I recieved for it.

The advice and help came pouring through. I was incredibly happy to have it. Then someone suggested something he did. Something that helped him deal with his own mental issues and it stuck with me. And that’s how this all began.

This is my grateful list to remind me in bad times all about the good things in my life.
